“As a family we are incredibly grateful for the care the hospital has given Ella-Louise and so are delighted to be able to give something back. We will all be getting involved on the day itself and asking friends and family to join us.”

To add to the fun this year, the girls want supporters to bandage a favourite toy knowing that many patients like to bring a special teddy into the hospital with them for comfort and support – with bears often taking a trip to X-Ray, physio or even theatre.

Miranda Williams, Public Fundraising Manager for BCH Charity, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have the support of Nawal and Ella-Louise for this year’s Big Bandage.

“As the girls have proved, getting involved is easy. Whether you decide to bandage yourself, your friends, your teacher, your boss or even a special teddy taking part is simple – just make a donation, wear a bandage for the day and show your support on Friday 10 July for our wonderful hospital.”
